Chapter 197 Mermaid's Grudge

"Yes." Ji Yanzhi nodded.

Ling Yi almost laughed: "Then what do you want me to do?"

Ji Yan said, "Be careful."

Ling looked at him and said, "That's it?"

"Okay," Ji Yanzhi said, "That's it."

Ling Yi didn't say anything more, but turned to look at the others in the room: "Any more objections?"

As it turns out, people can't learn from their mistakes.

Even though Ling Yi killed the noisiest person directly, some people still didn't know when to stop. An old man looked at Ling Yi and said, "He lost his son and said those things in grief and anger. You killed him directly. Isn't that too cruel?"

"Is that so?" Ling Yi smiled, gripping the bone knife as he walked towards the old man. "You already think I'm ruthless? How about I be even more ruthless and send you away without any problem?"

The old man's eyes flickered as he looked at Ling Yi approaching, then he said loudly, "You've all seen what kind of person she is, haven't you?"

“She never intended to save us. Our lives are worthless in her eyes. If we don’t fight back, she will kill us sooner or later. Are you really willing to wait to die?”

"But……"

"No buts, we can only be safe if we kill her!"

"Safety?" Hearing this, Ye Qingshuang sneered: "You can't even break this barrier, yet you want to kill our people? You're dreaming!"

After Ye Qingshuang finished speaking, she took out her flute and began to play.

The flute sounded, and the person inside the house clutched their head and howled in pain.

Ling Yi, in sync with Ye Qingshuang's flute playing, killed everyone in the room except for them.

More than a dozen corpses lay on the ground, their blood staining the ground red. Ling Yi stepped on the blood and turned to look at Ji Yanzhi.

Ji Yanzhi met his gaze without flinching, and after a while, he looked away, glancing down at a spot on his body: "Too much."

Ling Yi stared at the small bloodstain, his lips twitching. As soon as other emotions surfaced, the killing intent in his heart began to weaken. However, Ling Yi did not forget the important matter and looked at Bai Jiu: "You saved them, but they harmed themselves."

Baijiu felt a pang of sadness looking at the corpses.

He sensed their fear, which is why he wanted to save them. Regardless of Ling Yi's reasons for agreeing, at least she agreed. But instead of being grateful, those people turned around and blamed them.

Baijiu is indeed kind, but his kindness is not indiscriminate: "It's not your fault, it's their fault."

If they hadn't done that, Ling Yi wouldn't have killed them.

Ling glanced at him but said nothing more.

Ye Qingshuang asked, "Ling Yi, it looks like those things have taken care of everyone else and are now surrounding us. Should we fight our way out or just leave?"

As soon as Ye Qingshuang finished speaking, the monsters hiding outside seemed to receive some kind of command and all moved closer.

Previously, when those monsters dragged people away, they only showed their hands, and the people could only see their hands. But now... those monsters have revealed their true forms.

Ling Yi watched the surging monsters, his gaze falling on their faces. When he saw the face of one of the monsters, he raised an eyebrow slightly.

She had seen that face not long ago; it was the boy who had been dragged away, the reason that man had attacked them.

Not only Ling Yi noticed it, but everyone else did too. Lin Chengtian frowned and said, "Why does his face look so much like that boy?"

These monsters before me have human-like facial features, but their other characteristics are completely different from those of humans. Their blue skin, protruding veins, dull fish tails, and the slime they leave behind when they move are all disgusting and terrifying.

“This is Jiao Yuan,” Ye Qingshuang said. “Jiao Yuan has half mermaid blood, so it has fish-like features, but the other half is resentment.”

"Resentment?" Lin Chengtian asked, "What is that?"

"The resentment is the grievance of the human women who were killed by the merfolk," Ye Qingshuang said. "There is a country in the deep sea called the Merfolk Country. The merfolk live in the deep sea. They are powerful and can easily hunt sea beasts. Their appearance is stunning and unforgettable. Their songs are beautiful and melodious, but they are also deceptive and are a great weapon for them to hunt."

"Mermaids are the darlings of the ocean, the overlords of the sea, but the Heavenly Dao does not favor one race alone. When it bestows upon them things that ordinary people cannot have, there are also restrictions. The problem faced by the Merfolk is offspring." Ye Qingshuang said, "Mermaids have difficulty having offspring. In order to ensure the continuation of the race, the Merfolk have been working hard for offspring. Later, they came up with a solution."

Ye Qingshuang looked at the monsters outside and slowly said, "They are capturing human women to reproduce."

"In matters of reproduction, no intelligent race can compare with the human race," Ye Qingshuang said. "But the merfolk live in the deep sea, which the human race cannot reach. So the merfolk sent merfolk ashore. Those merfolk transformed into humans, and their stunning looks and beautiful songs easily won the hearts of women. Without even capturing them, countless women were willing to bear children for them."

"The merfolk come with the mission of procreation. They do not come to truly fall in love with human women. Therefore, they will not stay for any woman. Once they have ensured that a woman is pregnant, they will use sweet words to deceive her and make her wait for them while they go out to find new prey."

"Those women were obsessed with love and full of anticipation for the birth of their children. But after ten months of pregnancy, what they gave birth to was not the child they hoped for, but a half-human, half-fish monster." Ye Qingshuang's tone became even colder as she spoke: "Half-human, half-fish is a monster to humans, but to merfolk, they are all offspring. Even if those offspring have human blood, as long as they can reproduce, that's fine. As for the women who gave birth to merfolk offspring, some died in childbirth, and some were frightened to death after giving birth. None of them had a good ending. Merfolk didn't care about the lives of those women. They only took the offspring. But the merfolk bloodline born to ordinary human women simply couldn't withstand the power of the deep sea. They almost all died before even reaching the merfolk kingdom, let alone growing up there."

"Therefore, the Merfolk set their sights on the most talented women among the human race." Ye Qingshuang said, "In the human race's homeland, most of the most talented individuals are in sects and academies. They have seen and experienced a lot, unlike ordinary women who are easily deceived. The idea of ​​focusing on quantity rather than quality won't work. Merfolk need to maintain a long-term facade and pretend to be sincere in order to have a chance of success."

"In fact, they did succeed," Ye Qingshuang said. "Ordinary women don't have enough power for the merfolk cubs to absorb, so those merfolk cubs are very weak. But it's different for women with high cultivation levels. They have plenty of power, and the merfolk cubs are very smart. They know that if they absorb power at the beginning, their mother will notice their difference and they will be at risk of being eliminated. Therefore, they will lie dormant until the day of their birth, when their mother is weak. Then they will take the opportunity to frantically absorb their mother's power to strengthen themselves. The more power they absorb, the stronger their merfolk bloodline becomes. Such cubs can go to the Merfolk Kingdom."
